The (ECO) Wedding Season!

Upcycled aqua sea glass wired necklace from £65 from glasswing jewellery

Wow, it's amazing, people are really getting the recycled silver jewellery bug, and from a romantic, and ecological perspective, the number of people determined to have a green wedding, who are 'sealing' their commitment to one another with eco-conscious recycled silver wedding rings is absolutely brilliant!

So Glasswing's becoming quite a regular customer at the uber-efficient sales department of Hoover & Strong, the US makers of Harmony Metals (TM), 100% recycled metal bullion for use in the ethical jewellery trade, of which Glasswing Jewellery is a new and committed member.

I love the fact that now, the majority of my orders are for fairtrade, recycled silver jewellery pieces, especially my personalised wedding rings and bridal jewellery. Sea glass is proving really popular, for brides, bridemaids and grooms alike! I have some lovely cufflinks in the pipeline, and have just completed a lovely set of Cornish aqua sea glass necklace and heart earrings.

Recycled silver personalised ring set

I made these beauties for some lovely customers who are tying the knot next month. They specifically wanted ethical, eco-conscious wedding rings, and to have them personalised, unique and totally special to them. I hand stamped each ring prior to soldereding them - I love the clean, sharp look of the letters. I have simply given them a light polish by hand, keeping a warm soft shine to the silver. They are hand profiled - the larger one is 7mm thick, I have formed the D-shape myself, for a lovely organic feel. The narrower one is 5mm, and again, I formed the D-profile by hand.

I am still enjoying using the lovely "Harmony Metals" 100% recycled silver stock from Hoover and Strong - their customer service is amazing, and their delivery time is good. It's lovely silver to work, and is available in so many different shapes, everything I could wish for. The only problem remaining, is to find chains for my pendants in recycled silver, other than that Glasswing is well on the way to turning over completely to recyled silver in the near future.
